This week you are going to start putting your portfolio together.

What is the portfolio?

Task Title
Digital Portfolio
Task Description
Students will create an ICT portfolio focused on developing teaching resources that could be used by a teacher in an educational context. (e.g. this portfolio may be focussed on appropriate and relevant material for the primary EFL classroom or it may be focused on demonstrating the use of technology as a tool for learning.) The students may choose an age range or a theme to develop the material around. The students will present four different teaching artefacts for assessment. The Portfolio could include the following:

  • Information / tutorials etc. related to hardware or software
  • Poems or stories with added graphical illustrations
  • Use of the Internet as a tool for the creation of resources
  • Any learning object/ tool chosen by the student
